Sheffield is South Yorkshire's largest city and the steel capital of the UK - a heritage that continues in today's advanced manufacturing industry. The city hosts Northern General Hospital, designated the region's major trauma centre since 2012, serving South Yorkshire from road and air incidents. The combination of a heavy industrial legacy, continuing metals and engineering sector, and active regeneration produces a distinctive personal injury claim profile.
Casibus connects injured people across Sheffield and South Yorkshire with regulated personal injury specialists. Every case runs on a no win, no fee basis.

Industrial disease - Sheffield's long legacy

Mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, asbestosis and pleural thickening cases continue to emerge. Noise-induced hearing loss from forges, foundries and tooling. HAVS from grinding and polishing. The region continues to produce a concentrated occupational-disease claim volume.
